Does anyone remember this ad? This is how I’ve felt all freakin’ week. Discombobulated…off-kilter…out of whack. No matter how you describe it, it’s that surreal feeling you get when you can’t help but wonder, “Is it just me?”

Blogville has been a ghost town this week. Whether it’s due to spring fever or hay fever, people have evidently decided there’s places they’d rather be than online. Personally, I don’t have a choice…if I’m not online, it means I’m not working.

For anyone who can still hear me, I thought I’d share an epiphany I had the other day. Are you listening? Yeah, you…all the way in the back. Can you hear me? IS THIS THING ON?

“HELLO?”

Oops…sorry about that….I guess it was on. As I was saying, my Internet Explorer started getting sluggish the beginning of winter. After Bill (Gates) promised me he’d get right on it, I gave it 2 months...then I switched to Firefox. THAT lasted till a week ago before all the freezing and crashing and messages of, “Oops! Well, this is embarrassing…” started to annoy the crap out of me. Now, I’ve switched over to Google Chrome and it’s GREAT! Of course, I can’t figure out how to print a page…or find my bookmarked items…but other than that, it’s GREAT! Blogger and Chrome seem to be compatible and friendly…without making me feel like a third wheel. My posts load into Blogger seamlessly and my 127 open-tabbed windows are opening quickly and efficiently. All in all, it’s freakin’ GREAT! (Gee...I hope I haven't jinxed it.)

Okay…well…I don’t know if anyone’s even reading this….and if I’m talking to myself, well…that’s just pathetic.

Haha. I've wondered the same thing lately. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one asking myself where everyone wandered off to. I've been busier then usual the past few days myself. Major changes going on but I hope to settle soon.

I've been here, but I'm on new meds and I am having difficulty stringing thoughts together ... that and the christmas tree lights that word has been lighting leave me more confused, a tad frustrated and then, well, yeah, I guess in all honesty nothing is really new.

except that I have watched a full season of house in 2 days.

I haven't done a bit of work all week, but I make sure to read about life in kathrynville ... can I come visit?

I will admit, I am one of the ones who has been absent this week. Busy, busy, busy. With stuff other than blogging ... which is what I'd really rather have been doing. But I checked 2 things of my never-ending "to do" list so hopefully things will be back to normal.

It is nice to know I've been missed. :) Or maybe it wasn't me you were missing? No matter - even though it really does :) - I'm back and trying to catch up.

Ha! Of course you're not alone. I'm still here! Sometimes... That is when i'm not listening to songs in biology class :D. But other than that I got your back blog-bud. Oh and I think everybody watched that add again and decided to go to Rio. Maybe that's why you can't find anybody... I dunno, I'm just sayin'

diane rene: Aw. I'm sorry you're dealing with "The-Christmas-that-won't-go-away"...I'm gonna ask Bill to get right on that color scheme for Word corrections. As for that visit? You're welcome in Kathrynville anytime! We NEVER lock the doors here!

Kimberly: Yes, sweetie...I knew you'd gone missing. Busy is good! I'm just not used to this much quiet all at once... It's a little disconcerting...

I've been in and out. But I always comment your blog! And mine has been a ghost town the last two days but that's because I need a new post. This post was too cute though. Especially the girl peeking around her tower.

Talking to yourself is not bad, it's the answering back that gets you...

Still here, Kathryn =) Haven't been in writing mode because my emotional state seems to be, for once in my life, in stable condition. Still reading every one's blogs. Cause I'm nosey and need to know what everyone else is up to, LOL. With the weather being so great and my hubby working a 2nd shift and me left to take care of my boys...Well, you have boys so you know how it is trying to gain that coveted "quiet time" we all dream about. I may be sporadic. But rest assured, I am still here =)

Wow, so you missed me? I haven't been online since Sunday of last week. Cause I'm old! Old and fragile! Old and fragile and weak! *sigh* I never thought I would type these words but, I have a touch of Sciatica :-(I apparently hurt myself cleaning my closet last Sunday and I've had to be flat on my back all week long. I didn't even make it to work. On the bright side...I had great meds which is what is allowing me to sit here visiting all my favorite people. Thank goodness for happy pills :-)

Nope. you're not alone. I've been slacking in the comments latetly. Everywhere. Work. Dad. I'm actually typing this in the airport on the way to Canada. So I get a chance to come over here and see you! YAY!

Well, I'm here for now. It has been a crazy week and yes spring cleaning and yard work have really eaten my time on the internet. I'm lucky to have the time or the energy to post something every couple of days.

I have been feeling the same way. Maybe it's just because I only post once or twice a week. Or, I'm just not that interesting. Can the blog life cycle be at its end? Let's hope not. Otherwise, I will be spending far too much time on Facebook.

Alan W. Davidson: I don't think I saw that movie. (Of course, I never see things till they're on freakin' cable) Maybe that's where the film guys got the idea in the first place. That tv ad is from a long time ago...

Spot: Ha! "It's the answering back that gets to you"....so true! I'll have to remember that the next time I hear something/one answer. I'll tell them to talk to YOU.

JD at I Do Things: Oh, I'm GLAD! I really, really like it...it's the fastest of the 3, I think. And I'll bet it NEVER gets slow over at YOUR place, sweetie! Too many ppl laughing...

Christiejolu: I KNOW! It's great, right? The only thing to remember is if you're trying to cut and paste anything into something online and it doesn't come out formatted correctly, you may still need internet explorer. I found that out the hard way today...

Alicia: Oh, sweetie! I don't know if I'm more upset that you have sciatica, or that you used the phrase "I have a touch of..."!! I'm so sorry you've messed up your back! And you've GOT to change that story to having hurt yourself...deep sea fishing, maybe?Thank goodness for happy pills is right! Feel better!

welcome!

I'm glad you stopped by. Now that you're here, I hope you'll breathe and reboot. Cocktails are optional, but highly recommended. Not that you need one to find me utterly charming...but it couldn't hurt.So pour yourself a glass of Cloudy, raise it high and send a toast to all of us. I'll try my best to make you smile. But if I fail, just pour yourself another...it's a win/win.
